Risk of malignancy low in small, ovarian cystic tumors, study shows.
2003 MAR 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A comprehensive study released at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists annual meeting on Women's Cancer shows that the risk of malignancy in ovarian cystic tumors less than 10 cm in diameter is very low.
These findings suggest that serial ultrasounds may be a significantly less invasive alternative to surgery and may now be the only treatment required for many patients.
The study, titled "Risk of Malignancy in the Unilocular Ovarian Cystic Tumors Less than 10 cm in Diameter: A Long-term Follow-up Study," was conducted at the University of Kentucky Medical Center by researchers J.R. van Nagell, MD; Susan C. Modesitt, MD; Edward J. Pavlik, MD; Frederick R. Ueland, MD; and Paul D. DePriest, MD.
"The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of malignancy in ovarian cystic tumors in women over the age of 50," said Dr. van Nagell. "But, the results mean much more - that surgery isn't the only option. This study should be encouraging for women of all ages, to know that most simple cysts of the ovary will resolve spontaneously, and that they can be followed ...
